history
The original cemetery at the parish church in Inzersdorf had to be closed in 1784 as part of the Josephine reforms, whereupon today's cemetery was created. The first of a total of nine extensions to the cemetery took place in 1863, the last in 1979. In 1887, the cemetery chapel was built, in which the dead were laid out until a separate funeral hall was built in 1928. In 1928 an urn grove and an urn wall designed as a pointed arch arcade were laid out. The Inzersdorfer Friedhof was damaged in the Second World War and the damage was repaired by 1949. In 1973/1974 the funeral hall was redesigned according to plans by the architect Erich Boltenstern . The winged altar erected here comes from the painter Hans Robert Pippal .
At the Inzersdorf cemetery is the Drasche mausoleum, built in 1892 according to plans by Alexander Wielemans von Monteforte for the industrialist Richard von Drasche-Wartinberg , separately fenced in.
